The Ramblers tells the story of three New Yorkers, who are connected through family and friendship; Clio Marsh, Clio's best friend Smith Anderson and Tate Pennington.
Clio is a bird watcher who leads bird-watching tours through Central Park, and is on the brink of taking serious steps in a beginning relationship with Henry. During the story we also get to meet her father, and the two look back on the pas and Clio's not so happy childhood.
Smith is the daughter of one of the most wealthy families of New York. She is a life coach and just getting over a bad breakup, just weeks before they where going to be married, her boyfriend Asad left her.
Tate is a Yale graduate, just like Clio and Smith, who is left by his wife Olivia and therefore has returned to New York City. Living on his own is new for him, meets a woman who he knows from his college days, she sparkles an interest in him, and maybe she is just the thing he was looking for.
The Ramblers is nice story I had mixed feelings about. I didn't dislike it but it also didn't blew me away. The story didn't have a real plot with a beginning and and end, It was more a telling of the lives of the tree main characters and what happened in the past and present in their lives. The characters where enyoyable to read about. The author created a nice connection between the three. I liked how the author has set it in New York City, which was a foruth character in the book and a loveletter to the city. As a reader you can just see Clio leading a tour through Central Park and hear the birds.
Overall an enjoyable read, not the most strong plot, but worth reading.
